New Esprit on Top Gear

[toyroom]

Someone told me the new Esprit was on Top Gear in mock up form and tried on a track two weeks ago. Is this true....or is it yet another case of mistaken identity by motoring dunderhead who thinks all Lotus cars are called Elise ?

I think the dunderhead in question ate too much cheese just before bedtime. TG showed a small pic of one of the recent 'Artist's impressions' of the Esprit a few weeks ago (nothing you haven't seen before) then whizzed around in a supercharged Exige.
